Summer 1 Lunch Menu

School Meals at Harrington Hill Primary School

For many years the Harrington Hill kitchen team has been working very hard to transform school lunches and educate children on making good food choices. Everything on the menu is freshly made including bread, all the sauces, marinades, fruit salads, desserts and much more. The cooks are constantly adapting the menu to include a range of fresh fruits, vegetables, beans and pulses, and working out ways to make healthier ingredients more appealing to the children. With different nationalities in the kitchen team – St Vincent in the Caribbean, Nigeria, Columbia and England, there is always a diverse selection of flavoursome food on offer. Nuela’s chicken Jollof rice, Shirley’s fried fish and Maribel’s colourful salads are all very popular with the children.

We use some of the best food suppliers for fruit and vegetables who supply lots of London’s top restaurants, our fish supplier from the coast near Torquay brings us fresh fish each week and our butcher supplies us with top quality halal meat.

Our executive chef, James has over 15 years’ experience in hospitality, cooking in restaurants, hotels, private catering, cooking for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and even developing recipes for a robotic kitchen.

James brings his expertise to train and inspire the cooks and make sure the children get the best quality school lunches.

Each year, we hold a ‘Healthy Choices Week’ where the children learn about nutrition and healthy eating. Activities have included making simple healthy desserts and snacks without using any refined sugar.

Staff and children continue to share their ideas and how best to educate everyone about the importance of healthy, nutritious food.
